In this article we discuss the niche JOSEP is fulfilling in the field of special education teacher preparation, why authors should consider contributing to JOSEP, and how to develop and write high-quality manuscripts that have a greater chance at acceptance and publication. A general overview of the journal is presented as well as detailed checklists to use when developing a manuscript for submission.
